Best Asparagus Recipes

It's asparagus time in the Northeast! I can tell, not from the bounty from my
local farmers' market (who haven't harvested theirs yet), nor from my local
grocery store (which still sources them from out of the country) but from my
back yard. I am the proud
beneficiary of an intrepid asparagus plant, which has volunteered to grow in my
garden. The two slender green
stalks that I enjoyed atop my dinner salad last night tasted of fresh grassy
goodness.

In no time at all, they'll be available everywhere from area
farms. My all-time favorite
cooking method is grilling them (roasting is a close second). If
you're not a fan already, try one of these recipes, and I bet come next spring,
you'll be as excited as I am about the arrival of local asparagus.
